Ugly Relics Along this delectable stretch of coast is a
narrow valley edged by a marram-covered dune and high gorse-clad hills. Its amenities were
improved rather than sophisticated by one of the most amazing golf- courses in England: Some of the greens`' were made of geranium, and through the green the ball was not unlikely to be hidden beneath a Burnet rose. The Army took possession, and when they departed-left behind a welter of concrete, old iron, barbed wire, wooden posts and rough roads. They did nothing to clear up the mess, and their neglect seems to have proved infectious. Is a spring-cleaning quite impossible? One would have thought that any self-respecting locality would have taken immediate steps to restore such a paradisal spot to some of its old beauty ; but in many districts, it is lamentable to confess, local pride halts. Has anyone ever heard of the organisation of local volunteers in such a work. either for the sake of its beauty or the interest of the place?
